Your DH may want alone time but a surprise agreement to a WDW trip is awesome! Spur of the moment (which, to me, is either equal to or less than 1 months notice) WDW vacations are my absolute favorite as I run on pure excitement. There's something that much more magical knowing that I'll be spending the upcoming however many days in Disney whereas just moments before I thought they'd be of the ho-hum variety.
Simply because I like to price things out, I did just that for you on the WDW website. I selected random dates (15th-20th), your party size, 4 day base tickets and opted for both Value and Mod options. What I found was:
Considering the $2,000 budget I think ASMu (or Sports as it's the same price per night) is going to be your best bet. All of the packages are incredibly close to your budget but at least with ASMu you'll have a few dollars left over.
If you stick with CS meals and budget $50 - $75/day for both meals and snacks that will add an additional $250 - $375 to the bottom line. You will more than likely go over the $2,000 budget but it shouldn't be by much!
I know that you've contacted your TA already but I wanted to throw out the option of booking through a third party website such as Orbitz. I've done so in the past when my budget was lower than normal and it's a fantastic way to save. In 2010 I booked 7 nights at AKL for $110/night.
